In 1964 my first car was a 1952 Dodge Coronet fourdoor. My girlfriends dad owned a 1951 Plymouth Cranbrook. The next week he traded for a 1961 Corvair.

Welcome to the Replay Poker Forum, AWIZARD. Hope to see you here often.
My first vehicle was a Kawasaki KZ-900, which was stupid fast for its day. I did the only logical thing and had some exhaust and carb work done to make it insanely fast. I got it to 150 mph a few times, but it had more left to give.
My first actual car was a Toyota Corolla. Not fast at all, but reliable.
The only real vehicle story I have is about the small Nissan pickup I bought in the mid 1990s. I bought it new, paid cash, and both my wife and I liked it a lot. I had it for like 3 weeks, and it got stolen. The police said there was little chance of recovering it, so I went and bought another, identical one.
A week later, they call and say they found my truck. It seems some kids grabbed it for a joyride, then abandoned it when it ran out of gas.
I decided to keep them both, so for awhile, I had 2 copies of the same truck parked at my house.

AWIZARD, here at Replay Poker we do love the bluff! Nevertheless, if you expect anyone to believe you maybe you should tame down the “bluff” just a little.
Indy results 1962 courtesy of November 62 Hot Rod Magazine… AA/Dragster Jack Chrisman driving the M/T special 8.76 171.75
So are we to believe that two years after this world record set in a BLOWN FUEL INJECTED HEMI DRAGSTER running on alcohol, you ran a 9 second 1/4 in a car? Very impressive indeed. Not to me of course, please slide your chips over here.

First vehicle was a 68 VW bug… bright red, mini steering wheel, spider exhaust… sounded like a muscle car coming. Then graduated to a 68 red mustang… sweet ride for sure. Met the wife, got married, she talked me into a BLUE 70 Duster… found out she didnt like red…lol

my first car (and yes, its true) was a 911 porsche boxter. it was 1999, it was on my 18s birthday. it stood in front of our house (black) with an big red loop on it. it was a roadster with 204 ps. i thought i would get an heartattack, and i think you could hear my screamings in the states, lol. in germany we get out driving lizens with 18, so i just got it. i was soooooooooooooo proud when i drove to school with it next day.
a few weeks later it had a big bump and i cryd all night, lol.
